Texas Commercial Driver Traffic Ticket Information

Commercial drivers face many additional pitfalls when dealing with traffic tickets. In addition to any consequences that a commercial driver may face due to the policies of his employer, the State of Texas has different rules for commercial drivers that are much more strict than for non-commercial drivers. In many ways, a commercial driver’s driving record acts as his job resumé. Insurance is also a major concern—liability premiums for a commercial driver can be very costly.

• Speeding 15 or more over the limit
• Reckless Driving
• Improper or erratic lane change (except failure to signal)
• Following too closely
• Any traffic violation in connection with a fatal accident
• Operating a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) without obtaining a CDL
• Operating a CMV without a license in the possession of the driver
• Operating a CMV without a CDL of the proper class and/or endorsements for the specific vehicle being operated or for the passengers or type of cargo transported
• Railroad grade crossing violations

Any driver convicted of two of these types of offenses within a 10-year period will be disqualified from driving a CMV for 60 days. In the event of a 3rd conviction, the disqualification will be for 120 days.

Major traffic offenses for commercial (CDL) driver’s in Loving County,Texas

Major traffic offenses committed in a CMV or a non-CMV are defined as follows:

• Operating a CMV or non-CMV while under the influence of alcohol
• Operating a CMV with a blood-alcohol concentration of .04 or greater
• Refusal to submit to a chemical test
• Driving a CMV or non-CMV while under the influence of a controlled substance
• Leaving the scene of an accident (CMV or non-CMV)
• Felony involving the use of a motor vehicle (CMV or non-CMV)
• Causing a fatality through the negligent operation of a CMV
• Operating a CMV when the driver’s CDL is suspended
• Use of a CMV or non-CMV in the commission of a felony involving the manufacturing, distributing, or dispensing of a controlled substance
• Racing on the streets and highways
• Using a motor vehicle in attempting to flee or elude an officer
• Operating a motor vehicle with a revoked, cancelled, or suspended registration in violation of O.C.G.A. §40-6-15
• Theft of a commercial motor vehicle or cargo contained therein
• Administrative Per Se (Driving with an alcohol concentration of .08 or more pursuant to Texas Implied Consent).

Any of these violations will result in a disqualification. If the violation involves the commission of a felony involving the manufacturing, distributing, or dispensing of a controlled substance, the disqualification is for LIFE. Otherwise, the disqualification is for 3 years when it occurs while the CMV is transporting hazardous materials that require a placard. All other suspensions are for 1 year for the first violation, and lifetime for the 2nd violation.

Testimonials

Owsley & Associates quickly handled two outstanding tickets in warrant status and had them both dismissed in less than two weeks! I’m pleased with his advice, efficiency, communication and cost and would recommend them to anyone for traffic legal matters. – Jehoshua

Owsley & Associates did a wonderful job handling some ticket cases for my son and I would recommend them to anyone out there that needs a understanding lawyer and I’m happy to call him my friend. I would not hesitate to use him again if need be. Sincerely, Lynette Williams

As a CDL driver, I was concerned about having a speeding ticket (especially for a “serious” violation) on my record. I actually committed the offense, and knew I had no excuse, so I contacted Owsley Associates. For a very reasonable fee, they were able to negotiate it down to a non-moving violation. I am very satisfied with the service.

Owsley & Associates was very quick to respond, thoroughly understood my case, discussed and provided me alternatives really fast and helped dismiss my ticket without any issues. I don’t think i would have got this level of service even from an attorney in my city. Shawn was very professional throughout the process and i will always have his mobile in my speed dial :)”
